Hello!
My name is Svetlana. I am from Russia. At the moment I am living in Brazil.
I am keen on lots of things! First of all, I absolutely love languages! My favourite ones are Russian, English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian
So I have been learning languages since I was a kid and I am pretty sure I will be learning them all my life!
My other passions are dancing, yoga and meditation. These things really inspire me and give me great vibes!
I am a big fan of Latin America that's why I am learning about countries of that part of the world and Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
And of course I love travelling and meeting people all around the globe, exchanging languages!Me as a Teacher
My first teaching experience was long time ago, when I was a substitute teacher of martial arts. That time I really enjoyed teaching so I decided to learn how to teach languages since I have always liked them. So I got a degree in Linguistics, afterwards I got some certificates in Teaching approach (including world famous CELTA). That time my foreign friends asked me to help them with their Russian and that was how my "Russian Teaching Path" started =)
I have 5 years of teaching experience. I have been teaching small/large groups, one-to-one classes and via Skype. Moreover I have experience in teaching groups of international students in Ireland. My lessons & teaching style
Every course starts with a small talk where I find out what interests my students, why they are studying the language and what exactly they are ready to do to achieve their goals. According to that information I design my classes for them.
At my classes I use a communicative approach. It means the majority of time we practice and improve speaking. I am also convinced that for better results homework is a must-have so I always give my students homework( NOT A BORING ONE!)
For those ones who want to prepare for exams I offer an intensive course which will help to achieve the desirable goals within a short time frame.My teaching material

The best teacher I have interacted with. Svetlana is very clear, concise, and thorough. The most impressive thing about her teaching style is how well she can adjust her complexity to meet my abilities. Truly the best teacher.

My great luck to meet Svetlana. No more boring lessons, no more boring textbooks. Svetlana is a very sociable person, she will always find something new, even if you were sure that you know the language pretty good (not about me, but it is😊)
